I’ve had iMovie 08 installed on my MacBook Pro for over a week now and only yesterday was there a perfect chance to use it and give it a good spin.

I couldn’t use it though (and had to fall back to iMovie 06) because iMovie 08 wouldn’t import the MPEG files.

For a release that appeared to be a “lets start over again and make this amazing”-type release, they should have the very basics (#1 Importing video) down with zero issues.  I was one of the few that wasn’t pissed about iMovie and was willing to give it a chance, but my confidence took a big hit.

(I’m installing the update now, so lets see what that does…)
